Cultural bias involves a prejudice or highlighted distinction in viewpoint that suggests a preference of one culture over another.  Cultural bias can be described as discriminative. There needs to be more group integration of social values, beliefs, and rules of conduct.

The other name for cultural bias is ethnocentrism. It is making judgments about other societies or groups based on one's cultural bias and/or beliefs. In simple terms, it is judging someone's culture based on the way you were reared (raised) e.g. viewing other cultures and groups through the lens of your cultural beliefs.

This video mentioned unconscious bias ... and just what exactly does that mean?

What is unconscious bias in beauty pageants? Unconscious (or implicit) bias is a term that describes the association we hold, outside our conscious awareness and control. It affects everyone, even Miss Universe judges or Miss U fans and followers. Unconscious bias is triggered by our brain automatically making quick judgments and assessments. They are influenced by our background, personal as well a vicarious experiences, societal stereotypes, and cultural context.

Unconscious bias happens when a judge or a fan thinks better of someone because they believe they are alike ... and less of someone because she/he feels she is different from him/her  .... more especially if she is of a different race, religion or age.

The human tendency to form an opinion about others, especially among beauty pageants judges can somehow affect the way he or she votes. Bias can stem from stereotypes, preconceived notions, past experiences, or gut instinct. Unconscious bias occurs when an individual is unaware of a prejudice.
